HOBBIES

This list can go on and on and on. Mainly because I love new experiences. I enjoy spending most of my time creating things like custom computer builds, woodworking, paintings, fixing things and anything to do with graphics, photography, and most of all, art. My main sport that keeps me active and on my game is racquetball and secondly ultimate frisbee. I also have a mean aim for skeet shooting. Also one of my best skills includes fixing virtually any problem that a pc faces, I can fix. This includes hardware or software issues.

I am not going to deny it, I also love eating and I tend to seek out the best kept secrets that specific areas have to offer to ensure the most unique & delicious food experience.

WHAT LED HIM TO THIS POINT?

I have always been proficient with the world of design, instead of getting a degree in Web Design and avoiding relearning what I had already known, I decided to change my route and go to school for what goes on behind the scenes to allow me to have the knowledge of both worlds.

Computers have always fascinated me, it all started when I was very young on my parents old computer from the 1980s with an orange monochrome monitor. Playtime for me involved debugging and running commands in DOS. With my current experience I am qualified and passionate about combining function, interaction and form to design for fitting user experiences that make people happy.

MY ROLE HERE @ ATILUS

My main role is to provide the client with a beautiful, user friendly, & modern website design. I do this by creating a wireframe first and having that approved. After the wireframe is approved, I begin to design using Adobe Photoshop CC. Once the design has been completed and approved by the client, that is when development starts!

I am responsible for creating literally any type of graphic or image that goes out to any/all of our clients. Nearly every image goes through me for approval or as a task.

I also tend to code some of the smaller projects using my knowledge of HTML5 and CSS3 with coordination in using bootstrap.
